    Default PSD Export Layers Problem

    Help, I don't know what happened but now when I try and export PSD with
    layers I get layers that are all the same flattened graphic without
    backgrounds, not the separate elements on each layer like it should.
    I'm using Freehand MX, Win XP SP1 ... never had a problem with this before.
    I've tried uninstalling, re-installing, resetting preferences to defaults,
    but with no luck.
    Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a fix or workaround? I don't know
    what could have changed to break the export with layers.

    Thanks,

    Default Re: PSD Export Layers Problem

    OK never mind ... I figured it out. It must be a bug, never noticed it
    before though.

    When exporting as PSD with layers you will get layers with multiple copies
    of the same flattened graphic on each layer unless you choose the check box
    for "export selected objects only".

    So I guess that's a work around but it's really annoying, especially for
    multi-page docs with locked layers or content.

    Anyone else with this problem just be sure to check that box on export
    otherwise you won't get the results that you expect.

    BTW, is there some official place we can report these bugs so that they can
    get fixed?
